News summary

Central Europe's recent catastrophic flooding, primarily caused by Storm Boris, has resulted in at least 24 fatalities and billions in damages across countries like Poland, the Czech Republic, and Austria. Climate change has been identified as a significant factor, with the World Weather Attribution group stating that the extreme rainfall was made twice as likely due to global warming, and such events could become 50% more frequent if temperatures rise by 2°C. The severe weather is a stark reminder of Europe's rapid climate changes, with average temperatures increasing by approximately 2.3°C over the past five years. Amidst the devastation, there are fears of a looming famine due to extensive crop damage, particularly in Poland, where much of the preserved material is unusable. Experts are urging urgent climate action to transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy to mitigate future disasters. The situation underscores the urgent need for policymakers to address the escalating climate crisis to prevent further extreme weather events.
